Avast, ye scurvy dogs! September 19 be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! So put on an eye patch, raise all sheets to the wind, and make ye maties wonder what you Arrrrr up to!

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!" "What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine." The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before." "Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really." "Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands." "Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really." "Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes." "Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye." "So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird shit!" "Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet." Arrrrr....

Haha...eew...I'm imagining the hook in the eye, though...ouch!

Shiver me timbers! That must've stung! That reminds me of a short spoof of Moby Dick I read as a kid. Near the end, the only part of Ahab that hadn't been replaced was his nose. (But then that was replaced by a metal spike, so the crew used him as a harpoon when they encountered Moby Dick for the last time.)

LOL
